Tulsa Trust Administration Attorneys Guide Successor Trustees

Oklahoma lawyers provide legal services to clients managing trusts

Once a grantor establishes a trust, either they or a trustworthy fiduciary must act as trustee for the trust assets. When the grantor dies, a trustee named in the trust documents must act as administrator, seeing to necessary tasks according to state law and the terms of the trust. Trust administration requires careful attention to each detail of the grantor’s wishes, as well as sound legal advice to avoid missteps for which a trustee can be held personally liable. Katherine Saunders, PLC acts as administrator and provides reliable legal guidance to trust administrators. I have ample experience in both rolls on a wide variety of trusts, including:
